Three matches in a row, three victories (and two losses, as well) for Squaresoft RPGs. And convincing victories at that. Xenogears never stood a chance in this match, and I`m sure the game getting its ass handed to itself didn`t bother smitelf very much. She went as far as to compare the second disc of Xenogears to a miscarriage in her own poetic fashion. The best thing about this match is that it was expected to be a blowout. The only thing this meant was to see how well Final Fantasy 7 stacked up against Ocarina of Time, because no game would come between them. Almost 90% of bracketmakers knew that Final Fantasy 7 would make the sweet sixteen, and the only other game that came this close to FF7`s prediction percentage was The Legend of Zelda. Pure dominance right here, and if you weren`t a believer that Ocarina of Time was already done for by this point in the contest, then you were hoping that Ocarina would put up a dominating performance against Mario 64.

whew

One of the easiest matches to look at in the entire contest =) Xenogears, Fei, and the Weltall were all creamed by the power that is Cait Sith`s pinkie in this match, and the only drama here was seeing whether or not Final Fantasy 7 would get above 80% before the end of it.
